business activity which has never been
enjoyed here, he has no doubt. Every
thing points to it, and if those who are
interested here can but lend a
willing ear to the whisperings OF
prosperity and assist in every way posi-
BILE to encourage others; then will our
city take the place she is entitled to, and
and one she should have occupied these
many years. It is such firms as the
above that stand as proofs OF what en-
ergy and ability can accomplish IN
a few years. In addition to COM
plete line of the finest boots, shoes,
slippers, and specialtiss in these lines,
Messrs. Spencer and Kimball are sole
agents for Laird, Schroeder and Mitchelfs
fine shoes, to the quality of which most OF
our ladies can testify. In addition, they
have the exclusive control of James A.
Bannister's gents fine shoes, which for
durability and comfort, cannot be ex-
celled. These brands of footwear
when once used captlvate the
wearer to such an extent that they
will have no other kind of shoes. Or
ders are being filled continually from
all parts of this region.
Messrs. Spencer and Kimball deserve
the success they have achieved and there
is field open to them which are live
enough to enter and cultivate to the full
lest extent.
REMINGTON, JOHNSON & co.
The above firm in 1888 purchased the
grocery business of Walker Bros, and
since that time have been steadily push
ing ahead and extending their business
lines until to-day they carry an immense
line of groceries. Mr.. Remington has
charge of the business and under his magic
touch the business of the firm has
increased rapidly until now they ship
goods to Oregon, Colorado, Nevada,
Idaho, Arizona and Wyoming. To one
who sees only that portion of the room,
that can be seen from the entrance, oc-
cupied by this house, visit to the
warehouse would be revelation indeed.
That pleasant gentleman, S. T. Pearson,
courteously guided THE DEMOCRAT man
through the large and commodious ware
rooms recently erected to meet the de-
mands of the firm for more room. 1t
would. scarcely be believed that
connected with and at the rear of
the store fronting on Second South street
they have warehouse which extends
nearly to the south line of Auerbach
Bros store on Main street, but such is
the case, and this space is literally
packed with goods, carload after carload
of just such goods as a wholesale
house must carry. The wholesale trade
of this house has crowded the retail de-
partment until it now occupies very
small space. In corner of the
wareroom stands counter and
shelves upon which are displayed
the many curious not to say peculiar
kinds of food used by the worshippers of
Joss. Here also are found the elegant
jersey jackets and dancing pumps
which go with chopsticks and
rice. From the warehouse to
the cellar meant more surprises.
and like brick in building the caddies of
tobacco, cases of fruit, sacks of rice and
sugar were piled from floor to ceiling
the full length of the cellar and
ending underneath the sidewalk,
making in all the largest
and most varied stock of groceries to be
found in this western country. The firm
reports great advance for 1887 oyer
previous years during the first months,
and are firm in the opinion that this is
the appointed time for Utah and her in
1uStries.
